Navigating Accreditation: Strategies for Integrating Learning and Exam Prep to Better Support Your Candidates

I.C.E. Exchange Program Description: In the rapidly evolving professional learning landscape, the imperative for ongoing education is more pronounced than ever. Learning has become a strategic growth driver for credentialing organizations. Leading credentialing bodies are providing robust learning products to their candidates. However, many credentialing organizations remain wary of offering learning products, including exam preparation and certification training, due to accreditation concerns that require a firewall between education and certification.

In this session, despite prevalent concerns, we challenge the hesitancy around offering exam prep solutions, illustrating how these services can both augment the learner experience and generate new revenue streams while maintaining exam integrity and accreditation requirements.

Led by BenchPrep’s CEO, Ashish Rangnekar, and joined by industry veterans Laureen Kaczmarek, Learning Consultant; David Meginley, Chief Revenue and Learning Officer at HRCI; and Randy Bowman, President and CEO at IACET, this interactive panel will explore practical strategies and best practices for developing and delivering learning and exam prep products. This discussion aims to reconcile the provision of such products with the maintenance of accreditation standards and integrity.
